It must definitely be getting cold, as the other night when we were stretched out in front of the fire, Ava disappeared. Having scoured the dog beds, I looked up and there she was fast asleep on the sofa! Now, I know all dogs like to claim the sofa as their own, but the thing with Ava is it takes all her time and energy to stand up most mornings, so to manage an Everest like this was quite amazing. And how cute does she look?
